Tesla shares have fallen by 4.9% after Twitter users voted in favour of boss Elon Musk selling 10% of his stake in the carmaker in order to pay tax.

Mr Musk polled his Twitter followers on whether he should sell the shares, and 58% of the 3.5 million accounts that voted said he should.
It could see him dispose of nearly $21bn (£16bn) of stock.

Mr Musk held the poll over the weekend in response to a "billionaires tax" proposed by US Democrats.
